The project in this blog, Hundred Avatars at Tempura, is coming under the spotlight.
このブログのアバター百景の企画が注目を集めています。

I have been writing this blog since the establishment of Tempura. Along the way, I started thinking that I would ask the world to see the avatars visiting Tempura.
This place is a wonderful utopia that has no rational border. While watching the avatars here, you can see quite clearly what is hip in SL, what is going on, and with what kind of sense of value the people are enjoying SL. Polly and Aris the Tempura staffs are picking up avatars and taking pictures of them secretly. The names of the avatars are not listed. They may not know that they were shot and the pictures were used in the Tempura blog. (Some of them noticed and send me comments with pleasure.)
Together with the image, I am writing a small drama through my imagination that is a short explanation with love and fondness. Please enjoy the present day at Tempura thoroughly.

Here we present Hundred Avatars at Tempura ACT-35.
In the ACT-25, Aris took pictures of Strawberry Singh. Naturally she did not know at that time that Strawberry Singh is a great blogger who visited Tempura to shoot fashion and Aris considered her as an object. The objects selected by Aris are always unique, exciting, full of mysteries, and will never bore us. Please enjoy the art world of Aris!

Life is like a fairy tale written by God. We can enjoy the tale as a reality at Tempura.
人生は神の手で書かれたお伽話のようなもの。私たちは天ぷらでお伽話を現実のものとして楽しむことが出来る。

Bravery will bring in courage, and cowardice will bring about panic.
大胆さは勇気を、臆病は恐怖をもたらす。

I accept even dream or phantasm. I came here in order to get a glimpse of you. I love you.
夢でも幻でもいい。貴方にひと目会うためにここへ来た。私は貴方を愛している。

To wish “to be respected most” is the way to make both self and others unhappy.
「最も尊敬されたい」という思いが、自分も他人も不幸にする。

Things gone by will never return. The wise will see only the present and the future, and move forward.
過ぎ去ったものは再び帰らない、賢者は現在と未来のみを見つめて先へ進む。

Now I can see nothing but you. I can see only love. Please invite me to the dance…
もう貴方しか見えない、愛しか見えない、どうぞ私をダンスに誘って、、、。

A beautiful rose has thorns, but your heart is full of meek and tender flowers of love.
美しいバラにはとげがある。しかし貴女の心は柔和で優しい愛の花で満ちている。

I enjoy life as it really is. I am excited whenever I visit here. I can believe that there is a promising future waiting for me.
私は人生を在るがままに楽しむ。ここへ来ると胸が躍る。輝かしい未来が待っていると信じることが出来る。

I have transformed into this avatar in order to clarify my presence. I am now full and fruitful physically and mentally, and was able to like myself more than anyone else.
私は存在感をはっきりさせるためにこのアバターに変身した。心身ともに充実し満足して今は誰よりも自分が好きになれた。

I love you. So I am willing to be involved in a joint struggle against your bad fate.
私は貴方を愛する。だから貴方の悪い運命も引き受けて、ともに苦労することは厭いません。

Time that I passed here was like an apotropaism that brought me courage and hope into tomorrow.
ここで過ごす時間は厄払いのようなものだった。おかげで明日への勇気と希望がわいてきた。

When you meet someone who catches your heart and never let it go, do not listen to noisy chorus of surroundings but do follow only your voice in mind.
もし自分の心を捉えて離さない人に出会ったら、やかましい周りの合唱には耳を貸すな。貴方の心の声のみに従いなさい。

I am recalling only you day in and day out. We will see each other again soon, won’t we?
明けても暮れても貴方のことばかり思い出している。私たちもうすぐ再会できますよね？

I did not know this place before. I was fascinated with the beautiful crystal cave.
私はこの場所があることを知らなかった。美しい水晶の洞窟に心を奪われてしまった。

Regardless of any appearance that an avatar has, Tempura will kindly welcome. I like this place.
外見がどんなアバターであろうと、天ぷらは優しく迎えてくれる。僕らはここが大好きだ。

Life cannot be figured out until the last moment. I would like to establish a life that can be enjoyed in this world.
人生は最後の一瞬までわからない。私はこの世界で楽しむ人生を構築したい。

I am still young. Everything could be possible. I would like to try the possibility in this world.
私はまだ若い。何だって可能性がある。この世界で可能性を試してみたい。

Your beauty and sportiness is at a level of art object. You nicely fit the beautiful Tempura.
貴方の美しさとかっこよさは芸術品のレベルですよ。美しい天ぷらにほどよく似合っています。

Do not worry about tomorrow. You can think about it when the day comes. Now I would pass a special time at Tempura.
明日のことを思い煩うな。明日のことは明日になって考えればいい。今は天ぷらで特別な時間を過ごしたい。

I like flowers, the sky, love, and you most. But all in all, the best I like is to have a lot of something delicious.
花が好き,空が好き、愛が好き、貴方が大好き。でもやっぱり私が一番好きなのはおいしいものをたくさん食べること＾＾。
